But even though we’re here for fun it did not stop Weidler, a PNG skeptic from challenging Chammas on the new franchise with some hard hitting questions. But on the lighter side we look back at Chammas’ career in journalism and his favourite yarns he got to break. But also, did you hear Hello Sport’s interview with Danny Weidler?

The NRL want to buy into the English Super League and have grand plans to fix the game in the northern hemisphere. And after a poor outing in Ashes 1, the problem was there for all to see.

We also built a team full of every player that is eligible for the Kangaroos and ask, would Australia even struggle if the Pacific Nations continue to grow? We stripped down the international rugby league calendar and build it back up to try grow the game. Could it feature a union type Six Nations? Could we bring in international windows mid-season?

Back home, Jonah Pezet is reportedly about to sign for Brisbane Broncos via Parramatta Eels, but why? The boys get to the bottom of a very confusing deal.

So when do we expect him to be in the NRL? Jarome Luai's already playing some mind games with the Wests Tigers around his contract clauses but could the club also be forced to part ways with young gun Jahream Bula? The Dragons had the feel good story of 2025 with Cody Ramsey, who dodged potential death to get his career back on track! But the homegrown talent rejected the club to stay to sign with the Sydney Roosters... how did that even happen?
